Live long and PROSPER!

It is every man (and women)'s dream to live a long and Healthy life. Longevity is the most sought after by humanity since ages. You surely have heard about the search for the fountain of youth? Until today, pharmaceutical companies spend billions on research for anti ageing technology! WHY? because people are willing to do anything to stay young and beautiful.

Even turn into a vampire, if it is ever possible.

Ok, so eternal youth might be far fetched today. who knows what the future will bring. But today, we have made some amazing discoveries too. Discoveries that lead to slowing down ageing, or even reverse some degree of ageing.

Do you WANT to KNOW what is HOT in the market today?

Stem cells you say?? Not really. Stems cells are great if they are your own cells, harvested from your body and implanted into sites that need them. but if you get stem cells from a bottle, or even worse, in powder form... its all rubbish!

You see, the idea of stem cells is that, it is a cell that can transform into any cell you need. so, we implant it somewhere in hopes it becomes the cell you are missing. like we put it in your pancrease in hopes it becomes beta cells to produce insulin.

but if you get "stem cells" in a bottle. i dont think there are any living cells in it. powder?? please dont be dumb. even if you did consume live cells. i dont think the cells could survive your digestive system! so all you are taking is basically tiny vitamins from the "stem cells".

Have you heard of the saying, A glass of wine a day can prevent heart disease and help you live longer.

How about that? Well, that is probably true..

It is because red wine has  Resveratrol!

This was found because of the "french paradox". the french eat alot, drink wine, but seem to live longer than average. so after digging in the lab, they found that wine contained alot of funky good stuff. And No, i dont mean alcohol.

So one of those 'good stuff' is Resveratrol.

what are some of its benefits??

Resveratrol has gained a lot of attention for its reported antiaging and disease-combating benefits. Early research, mostly done in test tubes and in animals, suggests that resveratrol might help protect the body against a number of diseases, including:

Heart disease. Resveratrol helps reduce inflammation, prevents the oxidation of LDL "bad" cholesterol, and makes it more difficult for platelets to stick together and form the clots that can lead to a heart attack.

Cancer. Resveratrol is thought to limit the spread of cancer cells and trigger the process of cancer cell death (apoptosis).

Alzheimer's disease. Resveratrol may protect nerve cells from damage and the buildup of plaque that can lead to Alzheimer's.

Diabetes . Resveratrol helps prevent insulin resistance, a condition in which the body becomes less sensitive to the effects of the blood sugar-lowering hormone, insulin. Insulin resistance is a precursor todiabetes.

Resveratrol has also been linked to prevention of age-related problems such as heart disease and insulin resistance. Researchers believe that resveratrol activates the SIRT1 gene, a biological mechanism that seems to protect the body against the harmful effects of obesity and the diseases of aging.

So before you decide to buy10 bottles of wine and drown yourself in them, stop just for another second. alcohol is bad for you. thats not the way to do it.

Here is the liquid gold:

Best part is, studies show far has seen good tolerance to resveratrol. No known side effects.

yes, you only need one teaspoon a day for all the awesome benefits.

Why you are not losing weight despite starving!

Today I would like to share some basic knowledge on Insulin.

For those of you who suffer from diabetes that is beyond oral medication control, I am sure you are very familiar with the word and the need of insulin. For the rest of you, maybe you've seen it, maybe you've heard of it by chance or from formal education. There are of course some of you who might not know much if not anything about this very important substance.

I would like to share today on getting to know insulin, its main functions and how it can affect your diet and weight.

Ok, the boring basics. Insulin is an endocrine hormone secreted by the pancreas. It spikes in responds to high glucose (sugar) level in your blood. Glucagon is its opposite partner. when sugar lever drops... Glucagon spikes.

Insulin drives sugars into cells to be stored. and when insulin drops and glucagon spikes.. cells use up its glycogen reserves for energy.

But that is just the superficial part of it.

Actually Insulin plays and important role on the utilisation of our fuels for either storage or oxidation to produce energy. this includes glycogen, lipid and protein. Unsteady levels of insulin will cause derangements in the process of fuel utilization.

so lets break it down.

INSULIN AND CARBS

Carbohydrates will break down into glucose at the end of the day. Insulin in the key to allow sugar to pass through the cell door and get stored as glycogen. every cell needs insulin except for your brain,nerve cell and liver. But. Insulin stimulates the liver to bank in as much glycogen as it can.

This results in a drop in sugar in the blood. Hence, Insulin will decrease as well.
Decrease in insulin will trigger use of alternative energy. The liver will also start break down glycogen.

INSULIN AND FAT!

so you must be wondering. why then do i gain so much weight as fat.. even if I only eat food high in sugar and carbs?

Actually the liver can only saturate upto 5% of its mass with glycogen. Once saturated, guess what, it begins to churn glucose into fatty acids. This is then exported from the liver as lipoproteins. Lipoproteins (fat + proteins) will release free fatty acids in the body where it is needed. Mainly will be taken up by the Adipose(fat) cells. so there you go, there is the culprit after all.

What else does insulin do? It inhibits usage of alternative fuel. Alternative meaning anything other than glucose. Insulin signals glucose to be stored in Adipocyte (fat cells), converted to glycerol and with the fatty acid, insulin signals the fat cells to produce triglycerides. basically, producing more FAT!!!

So basically, Insulin in a fat sparing agent. Not only does it signal body to use our primary fuel source, sugar, but it signals accumulation of FAT. converting sugar.. into FAT!

bottom line, spikes of insulin is not what you want for your wightloss - fatloss ambition.

SO WHAT NOW?

well, it is obvious isnt it. keep your carbs and sugar intake low and steady and this will in turn produce a steady low level on insulin in your body.

This is why the Low carb, diet works. you can eat as much as you want provided it doesnt contain sugar or carbs in it. be aware of course, this diet can burden your kidneys in the long run.

If you must take carbs and sugar, take them on regular times each day, and take food with LOW GI. Glycemic index. These are foods that are digested slowly and hence release sugar not in a big pulse, but rather a constant slow ooze. avoiding the unnecessary insulin spike which will lead to the unwanted effects mentioned above.

Diet preparations, weight loss meal replacements or shakes are mainly rich in proteins and low in GI. This is for the sole purpose of getting your body to use its fat storage, the stuff you wanna lose. body isn't so clever when it comes to burning alternative fuel. It will tend to burn protein as well.

PRESERVE YOUR MUSCLE.

Why do shakes contain mainly protein? well, one, would be to make you feel full and curb the cravings. but more importantly it prevents muscle wasting. Muscles are the main fuel users. If you work out, you create a demand to burn more fuel and at the same time, build more muscle. Especially if you do strength training. cardio burns fat, pumping iron bulk up the engine.

HOW ABOUT MEALS?

if you are serious at losing those unwanted fats, then you have to be serious at keeping your food routine tight.

Eat same time each day. keep your diet LOW GI, and avoid as much carbs and sugar as you can. this include the healthy choices of delicious fruits. pick fruits with lots of fiber and low sugar. like apples, pears and watermelon. they make you feel full without the exccess of sugar and carbs.

drink plain water, throughout the day. to burn alternative fuel, your body needs more fluids.

CONGRATS AND GOOD LUCK!

If you made it this far and could digest more than half of the info than good for you. You now have the knowledge to change your body and health.

wether you use this knowledge to your advantage or not is beyond me. Your life, Your choice, Your happiness. succeed or fail its all you. no one else.

"do not stop when you are tired, stop when you are finished" I dunno who said that, i read it somewhere on fb. but it rings true you know.

TAKE HOME MESSAGE:

1. Have a strict meal routine. keep your insulin levels steady.
2. Eat food with low GI. spikes of insulin is your enemy
3. If you can't keep up with meal demands, get Meal replacements, diet shakes. they are easy and fast.
4. Exercise so that you dont waste muscle that help burn the fat. bulk up if you want to see faster results.
5. Avoid taking  sugar at all cost. they are your primary enemy!                                                                     

STOP FLU dengan ZINC

Wahai Rakan Sekalian,

(saya akan tulis blog ini menggunakan bahasa pasar kerana mood saya cenderung begitu hari ini. kepada yang sakit kepala membacanya, saya minta maaf. lain hari saya tulis dalam bahasa baku :P )

Hari ni saya mahu berkongsi sesuatu yang cukup berguna.

Musim panas macam ini, sudahlah tak cukup minum air, habuk berterbangan, mula la kita rasa kerongkong gatal dan kering.

Haa.. mesti takutkan. sebab bila kering macam ni, musim demam pun datangla. Hampir separuh dari keseluruhan kanak kanak akan meleleh dengan hingus.

Satu terjangkit kawan, balik rumah jangkit adik, abang kakak, ibu bapa, nenek... semua la, tiada yang terkecuali.

Demam yang saya maksudkan ialah demam selesma biasa. bukan demam denggi ka, demam sebab jangkitan paru paru ka. walaupun demam biasa saja, ia bukan sesuatu yang menyenangkan. Sangat lah menyusahkan apabila badan tidak cukup fit untuk terus bekerja, belajar, beriadah dan sebagainya

Mahukah kamu tahu tentang cara senang untuk menguatkan sistem imun diri bagi mencegah daripada dijangkit virus virus ini? Atau lebih luar biasa lagi, kalau sudah terjangkit, mahukah kamu menamatkan riwayat virus itu sebelum ia memaharaja lela di tubuh anda!

Kalau anda katakan YA, saya MAHU.

Maka anda perlukan supplement ZINC!

apakah ZINC ini? boleh ka saya makan atap rumah saya, zinc juga kan
hahaha... lawak betul la. mmg la ada juga atap zinc. tapi saya rasa tidak logic mau makan. kalau makan pun, cedera diri saja.

ZINC tersedia dalam bentuk supplement. macam kalsium, zat besi dan sebagainya.
ia tersedia dalam bentuk mudah ditelan dan diserap,

Apakah kebaikan ZINC ini.
sangatlah banyak sampaii saya rasa kalau tulis smua mesti kamu boring.

Saya mau tekankan fungsi meningkatkan sistem IMUN tubuh kita.

Bagaimana?
Jika kekurangan zinc, tentera tubuh kita iaitu sel darah putih tidah dapat berfungsi melawan penyakit. tak kisah la, virus ka, bacteria ka. Dia akan jadi lemah.

Zinc juga terlibat dalam proses replikasi DNA dan RNA, aktivasi cell, pembiakan cell dan kestabilan permukaan sel.

cakap saja banyak kan... mana bukti.

memandangkan orang yang buat kajian itu orang puteh! bukan Qu puteh ok, Jadi jurnal ini juga dalam bahasa English. saya yakin kamu semua hebat english. kalau tak brapa... google translate saja la.

THE COCHRANE REVIEW

perpustakaan cochrane ini rumah kepada berjuta juta jawapan. mesti pandai cari dan Fahamkan saja.

Review itu mengatakan bahawa, zinc yang dimakan dalam masa 24 jam permulaan jangkitan, dapat dipendekkan jangkamasa jangkitan tersebut.

boleh faham ka ayat tu?

maksudnya, kalau tak ambil zinc, sakit biasanya akan reda dlm 5 hari. kalau makan zinc, mungkin sakit 2-3 hari dan sakit pun tak teruk.

bacalah sendiri, baru faham. nanti kata saya tipu pulak.

Kalau suka Membaca, mari baca lebih banyak ilmu lagi di SINI.

Ok, saya harap kalian semua ada menimba sedikit sebanyak ilmu baru untuk kebaikan sekeluarga.

Disini ada beberapa soalan lazim ditanya.

1. Takpa ka kalau demam tak keluar. nanti demam stuck? Demam tu tindak balas badan kepada jangkitan dan benda asing dalam badan. tiada istilah demam tersekat ka dan sebagainya. kalau jangkitan sudah terbatal.. maka, tiadala demam.
2. Tidak bahaya ka kalau sakit tu tidak keluar. nanti memudaratkan badan? Sakit selesma ini, disebabkan virus, biasanya virus rhinovirus, parainfluenze dan influenze. kita terjangkit dari orang lain yang sakit. virus yang sedikit, membiak jadi banyak. bila cukup tentera, maka kita akan jadi sakit. apa yang kita lakukan dengan zinc ialah memendekkan hayat virus, menghalangnya dari berjaya mendirikan tentera. jadi, apabila bilangannya sedikit, sistem imun badan pun dapat menghapuskannya!
